Duh - my eyes were looking at "%s" but the brain substituted "$link"

Chris,

I couldn't get above to work so after trying various combinations the
following is OK.

printf("<a href='%s'>Mystery Tour</a>",$link);

Seem OK to you?

Cheers

I didn't save as .php file!

Any thoughts on this one?

<script type="text/javascript">
function getNextPage(){
var num = Math.random();
if (num<.5) {
location.href="test1/test1.htm";
} else {
location.href="test2/test2.htm";
}

}
</script>

<IMG alt="image" src="assets/images/movelab1.gif"
onClick="getNextPage();">

The reason for the 2 pages is that this web site will have some music
related exercises and we wish to have a kind of control group etc.

Cheers

Geoff

And what will happen if the visitor has JavaScript disabled?

The server side solution means it doesn't matter.
